问题如下:
Suppose that on a particular day there are 3,000 trades in a futures contract. Of the buyers in those 3,000 trades, 1,800 were closing out positions and 1,200 were taking new positions. Of the sellers in those 3,000 trades, 1,400 were closing out positions and 1,600 were taking new positions. What is the change in open interest during the day? Does it increase or decrease?
解释:
The open interest goes down by 200. This is because there are 1,200 new long positions and 1,400 long positions are closed out (with short trades). Alternatively, there are 1,800 new short positions and 1,600 are closed out (with long trades).
就是新签即买卖双方分别是1200和1600,双方交易1600—1200=400
由于买卖是翻倍的合约400除以2=200
这样理解对吗
